newtonian mechanics - What is G-Force? - Physics Stack Exchange
A g -force is a force expressed in acceleration units, with associated assumptions to make it "equivalent". Accelerations create forces (either via the gravitational mass or the inertia mass, …
Calculation of the G-force - Physics Stack Exchange
The g force is a unit of acceleration. 1 g is equal to 9.80665 m s -2. So the correct formula is $$ \text {G force} = \frac {\text {Acceleration in m s}^ {-2}} {9.8}. $$ However, when describing …
The $g$-force of common objects hitting the floor
Mar 31, 2015 · 2) The term 'G force' is a cool sounding term us novices associate with fighter jets, but high g forces can be generated easily by common objects falling insignificant heights.
How does $g$-force work? - Physics Stack Exchange
May 21, 2024 · The term "g-force" is confusing and ambiguous. Quite often g-force is an acceleration, not a force. If someone is measuring g-force in gee's, they're actually measuring …
Can a pilot in a small spaceship feel G force in space?
Sep 4, 2015 · The g-force experienced by the pilot's spaceship is no different from that of of the pilot of a fighter plane (on Earth) or a racing car driver (on Earth) with exception of (perhaps) …
G-force: difference between gravity and acceleration of an object
Dec 2, 2019 · Specifically : 1) why the resulting force is pointing in the same direction for the gravity but in opposite direction for the car and 2) why "accepting" the acceleration results in …
Does Liquid Immersion protect against G forces?
2 Yes, it does protect against G forces because it spreads the pressure on the support surfaces of the body evenly. For example, and interesting article here
buoyancy - Counteracting g-force - Physics Stack Exchange
Jan 3, 2011 · Is it possible to counter-act g-force for a jet-pilot, by him putting on a scuba-diving suit and filling the cockpit with water? On earth we are constantly pulled down, or accelerated …
How to calculate $g$'s seen by a dropped object upon impact?
Aug 9, 2017 · The object's contact duration is $0.002$ sec (or $2$ ms) It seems that if you use impulse momentum for this problem, mass gets cancelled out but that doesnt make much …
